perps already exists with binance, hyperliquid, dydx have been running billions in daily volume for years.
so why does today's CFTC news actually matter?
>the classification changed with CFTC just ruled perps as futures, not swaps.
>futures fall under CFTC, swaps sit in this messy CFTC/SEC overlap that compliance teams at big funds absolutely hate and the SEC has historically been aggressive towards crypto regulations.
>with this CFTC classification for perps, onshore perps are legitimate for hedge funds and pension funds, that legally couldn't touch offshore venues.
>with this opens the basis trades, hedging, leverage, strategies for funds that cant use hyperliquid or binance on compliance grounds and any licensed exchange can now build on this ruling.
>Something to think about is will these regulated venues actually attract liquidity depth that hyperliquid or cexes have already achieved on their order books
>and for protocols how will they plug into onshore regulated perp distribution
this is going to heat up competition in the crypto perps space and in perps, fees don't really matter liquidity does

In my first public remarks as @CFTC Chairman, I made clear that the agency would use the tools at its disposal to onshore crypto asset perpetuals. Today, the @CFTC delivered on that commitment.
This morning, the @CFTC took historic action to permit the listing of a true bitcoin perpetual contract by a CFTC-registered exchange, charting a path for one of the most liquid segments of the crypto asset markets to exist within the US regulatory framework.

was reading history of debt and one thing stood out
>it says credit came before money itself, and availability of credit is what allowed economies to grow, humans to experiment and take bigger risks
>now US 30Y treasury at 5.13%, crazy high for supposedly risk free long term asset
>keeps cost of capital elevated across the economy
>higher mortgage rates, expensive borrowing, and even AI hyperscaling becomes harder because so much infra + capex depends on relatively cheap capital
wonder if high yields can actually slow down AI innovation itself especially for small-mid scale startups
